MUSIC

Aswell as being Director of Photography, i am also composing most of the music used in our documentary extract as i take A2 Music. I have started composing with ideas of using a classical feel, but with a uptempo rhythm to link in the establishing time lapse. I have drawn inspiration from Just Jack's 'Embers' as it first has a classical feel then progresses into a modern feel with guitars and a canon.

Just Jack 'Embers'

Also i have been inspired by Dan Black's 'U + Me' which is the theme tune for BBC Switch's new online drama, The Cut.

The use of synthesizers and other electronic elements would link in with our target audience of young adults and parents. This would link in because the music would give a modern feel to the documentary.

REFILM // FILMING

As a group we have discovered that the footage that we have filmed for the time lapse, doesn't work when we put in the fastforward effect in iMovie. Also, our footage is static and so we would have to have different ranges of angles and shots too. So we would have to reshoot this friday at the same locations.

London Eye Panoramic Time Lapse

Big Ben Time Lapse, shows a different more interesting angle of Big Ben

This video shows London as a city during rush hour. The Video has plenty techniques, such as slowmotion aswell as fastforward.

Today on our filming schedule we are due to film, my scenes with my computer, this will be placed after the establishing shots of london eye etc.

TIME LAPSE!

Time-Lapse Photography is a cinematography technique whereby each film frame is captured at a rate much slower than it will be played back. When replayed at normal speed, time appears to be moving faster and thus lapsing. Some classic subjects of timelapse photography include: cloudscapes and celestial motion, plants growing and flowers opening,
fruit rotting,evolution of a construction project, people in the city.
The technique has also been used to photograph crowds, traffic, and even television. The effect of photographing a subject that changes imperceptibly slowly, is to create a smooth impression of motion. A subject that is changing quickly already is transformed into an onslaught of activity. (from wikipedia)

As a group, we thought it would be a good idea to create a time lapse for the beginning of our documentary, using the london eye, big ben, london bridge + oxford st as our locations. we asked mr foley for guidance on how we would be able to do this and how much tape we would need. here are some youtube examples:
